Premium Appliances – Do They Really Last Longer?
Anthony, Tom, and Jon wrap up the week by confronting a brutal reality in the world of premium appliances: expensive doesn’t always mean durable. From early failures in refrigerators and dishwashers to eye-watering repair costs on high-end washers, this week’s episodes reveal why premium often means better performance—not longer life.

Throughout the week, we gather questions from salespeople from The Inside Edge airings. Then, every Friday, we go live to answer those questions in real-time. This approach ensures that the most relevant topics are addressed, providing actionable answers and deepening the learning experience. By tuning in to Steel Cod Live!, salespeople gain clarity on key points and walk away with enhanced confidence in their knowledge.
